Seneca Ghost Bread - Native American Fry Cakes

 

2 cups flour

1/8 tsp. salt

2 tsp. baking powder

1/2 cup dry skim milk

1 1/2cups warm water

1/2 cup canola oil

 

 

 

 

In a bowl combine all ingredients except canola oil. Mix until batter is smooth.

In a cast-iron or non-stick skillet heat enough oil at medium heat to cover the

bottom of the pan. Scoop a large spoon full from the bread batter and place it

in the shortening. Let cook about 30 seconds or until bottom is firm enough to

slip spatula under and flip over. Carefully turn the dough over and press with

spatula to flatten. You may have to press it down several times. When it gets

light brown around the edges turn it over and cook till edges are browned. Serve

immediately or place on a plate in the oven (Warm setting). Add more oil, if

needed, and repeat with remaining batter. Serve warm with honey, preserves and

nut butter (peanut, hazelnut or almond).

 

Servings: 6 - 8 cakes
